Paper White Moon

By the seaside looking in
To a tide-pool shimmering in the wind
Salt spray's bursting into full bloom
Lit by the glow of a Paper White Moon
Maybe now, now is the right time
To say what's been burning up your mind
Write it down
Oh the blank page
Now it's there it's laid bare I'm aware
Of every word you said
You said

Now I feel so alive
You've waisted all this precious time
And I'll keep turning it over
And over
And over
In my mind

You were stolen by the ocean
And now I'll leave you in the hot sand
You've been shipwrecked to the bottom
And I won't ever see you there again
You said
You were stolen from the ocean
Paper White Moon
You've been taken to the deep
Stolen by the sea
In time there might be sunken treasure
Buried in the deep
But it's not the kind that you will want to keep
You said
You were stolen from by ocean
Paper White Moon
You've been taken to the deep
Stolen by the sea
In time there might be sunken treasure
Buried in the deep
But it's not the kind that you will want to keep
You said
Drown in the deep blue sea
Yeah yeah oh
Paper White Moon
By the seaside looking in
To a tide-pool shimmering in the wind
